Yes, everyone is a sinner. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the kingdom of God." Everyone has a conscience in them that tells them if something is right or wrong, even if noone ever actually to told them to their face that it was wrong. A child knows that it is wrong to do what their mother tells them not to do, even if their mother never tells them that disobeying is wrong, but they do it anyway because they are sinners.

No. You must know that it's a sin to be guilty of it.

Is there acknowledgement of sin in Judaism?

Yes, but one can atone by repenting, which constitutes stopping what you're doing wrong, feeling bad about it and confessing your feelings verbally (just to God, no need for a priest), and making a commitment not to do it again. If the sin is committed against a person, the person who committed the sin has to seek forgiveness from that person. According to Judaism, only the victim of the sin can forgive the sin.
